I carried the box up two flights of stairs to the room for unboxing. I should point out that I'm a comparatively big and fit guy (like, I work at it) and that I wouldn't expect most folks to pull that off readily, or willingly. I think it was probably easier to carry the full box up rather than unboxing downstairs, since I would have been a lot more concerned about damaging her TPE skin bumping into walls and such had I unboxed her first.
The package included expected accessories, plus a bit. I got two wigs (only expected one), one short blonde and one very long blonde. There were four miscellaneous clothing items, including the silver bikini seen on the older Summer model on Sili Doll's website, plus some pink shorts, a nightie with thong bottom, and some fishnet stockings. Also a super budget douche and even more super budget USB heater, comb, a small microfiber blanket, and white gloves. The white gloves crack me up, thinking of how I will be handling her and REALLY not being all that neat about it...
. Before she arrived, I purchased some clothing items online, which I will post pics of later. I also got a two-output fish tank air pump for orifice drying (early results, works well)It was pretty clear the breasts were flattened a bit being in the box, so they don't quite have a lovely consistent curviness as I think was intended. After three days, they are still showing evidence of a bit of flattening. Initial reaction when I took her out of the box was that the proportions of everything from the bellybutton area down are pretty reasonable on their own, but much out of proportion to the torso and shoulders. This was somewhat apparent on the website but the difference is striking in person. In particular, the difference stands out because looking at the lower body on it's own in person, its small; the torso and shoulders are TINY. I commented to my GF (who hasn't seen her in person yet) that Summer's breasts look gigantic in context on the doll mounted to the tiny torso, but are probably only a little bit larger than my GF's, which look much more normal on her well-proportioned upper body. These are all just simple observations, still working out how it all makes me feel about my first doll. In general, my gut reactions have been very positive.
The skin, advertised as Sili Doll's newest "Japan SkinTech TPE" on their website, feels extraordinarily smooth. Since I do not have any other dolls to compare with, I can't speak to how it measures up to other products, but it's pleasant to rub my hands on. It improved further after washing, drying, and powdering (using corn starch so far with a powder makeup brush). The softness and "squeezy-ness" are also pleasant. Again, I only have RG comparisons at this point...the main observation of course is that a RG's skin has the lovely elements of skin, fat, muscle, bone, and inherent warmth to lend to how it feels in general. Summer NXT experience is less dimensional, but still quite pleasant to touch and press and squeeze. I'd say the breasts' softness compares to boob job breast in a swimsuit - packed, firm, but not wholly natural. Again, quite pleasant. The weight and bounciness are also quite nice. Her butt is nice to grab, kind of feels like an unflexed muscular ass. I look forward to one day being able to compare to other dolls...
There is a distinctive smell of the TPE material, but it is not very strong, nor is it really unpleasant. I have noticed it start to dissipate (or I am becoming less sensitive to it?) over the last three days that she's been out of the box. Reminds me - I've learned a lot about TPE in the past 10 days. I'm going to do some more homework and add to the knowledge that's been shared here before in a future post...there's a lot of mythology going around that probably isn't adding value here!
We haven't settled on a name yet. Stay tuned!
